Lyrics
There’s so much about you that’s lovable
So much that I could talk about
But somehow, my sweet, whenever we meet
One thing really stands out
Refrain
I love the way you say good-night
I kinda like the way you mumble
While you fumble for the key
Mm-mm-mm-More time for kissin’ me
I love the way you say good-night
I kinda like the way you linger
With your finger on the bell
Mm-mm-mm-More kisses and they’re swell
When you say, “Gotta get home by twelve”
I always say, “Let’s go”
‘Cause you can take longer to say good-night
That any three others I know
I love the way you say good-night
I kinda like the way you snuggle
While you juggle with your comb
Mm-mm-mm I’m never, never
Never goin’ home
